Who goes out of their way to make such a monstrosity. The amount of compatibility efforts must have really distracted from making any one of them exceptional.
Of course, I could be completely wrong.
Also…: Windows??? Give it a dang rest! Windows on a mobile device was last a great idea around 2006.
Linux and Android would be pure chef’s kiss AFAIC.
Well I don’t think it’d paranoid but I have been meaning to run a scan with some apps I have just to see. But is Xiaomi one of the banned brands?I know Huawei, ZTE, and some others I’ve heard. Not sure about Xiaomi.
Anyway it’s a fairly good quality launcher. And it has one feature I love that Nova never implemented which is icon packs as in multiple. In order of preference.
Lawnchair is ok but I’ve been liking Poco. The thing is Nova is amazing at adapting icon packs to at least make stuff follow a motif. Nearly every other launcher just leaves icons looking out of place when there isn’t a themed one. I’m not talking about having an icon for all your apps within all your icon packs, but if the pack follows some shape or design, or maybe color affectation, Nova will generate for all others a complying effect. Hardly any other launchers will do this. I also use a widget called Launchy and the one thing it’s missing is it also won’t do this with some packs. Although some will. It’s weird.
But I’ve rambled. Yeah check out Poco AKA Global Launcher from Xiaomi I think.
When you feel that you can make money without innovating anymore, you just stop and collect your profits. Best thing about being open is that custom ROMs do some great shit for people who go that route.
Yes, I’m aware of the ability to manually hide a directory. Thank you anyway for making the suggestion. I do wish the app properly respected the .nomedia file. Ah well.
Meanwhile I have another crash Android dilemma going on as well. Most of the time Android is freaking amazing to me, and then there are times I wonder how something fundamental and basic has been overlooked.
I don’t see any setting that would affect it. Is it possible I have to enable some setting? No matter how I configure it, it’s displaying images within folders that have a .nomedia file.
I’d like also to ask is there any difference between Aves Libre and the Aves Gallery app in the Play store & Aurora store?
Well I don’t mean aesthetics, its just buttons and layout are a bit awkward. And other aspects. I can check and see what exactly bothers me so I can follow up with specifics.
I was pleasantly surprised they finally did some updating because damn, that app had been stagnant for years.
It’s an interesting app. I kinda like it a don’t at the same time. It has a lot to offer, but needs some polishing.
I’ve tried all the galleries and Aves Libre is the one I have consistently found superior to all others.
It is a little better, I’ll agree with this. I usually end up just using Droidify. I’ve tried pretty much all the variations eg: Foxy, Neo, Izzy (good repo, bad app; can’t shut off checking for updates), etc.
Material files is alright, but if you’re going to accept some serious limitations of under-developed features, I’d stick with Total Commander.
I’ve tried soooo many launchers. Absolutely nothing has equaled the total features and polish of Nova. Thus far the one I’m able to most tolerate is Poco, and on some devices I actually like Launch Time, which is a lot more visible a presence since it has a menu bar and background everything. It’s more like the old Program Manager in Windows 3.1. Poco is fairly simple but doesn’t support adaptive so when you apply an icon pack it won’t generate an approximation for ones that aren’t in the pack. On Nova most packs will at least encapsulate icons in their pack’s design shell. If Poco got a little more sophisticated I would like it.
And I also quite like the total simplicity of Neat Launcher, which is nice because it’s also open source.
Someone’s got delusional ideas about what he’s got for sale.
So… After that had fixed it, I’m using device for a few more days and now suddenly there’s a different omen So, share sheet now has an email recipient up there on top of all other items. There doesn’t seem to be anywhere that I can prohibit Outlook items from being shoved onto that position.
What the actual F? Any idea?
Actually someone got it solved for me. Cleared Outlook cache and data. Had to setup over again but it is gone from the share sheet.
Yeah I wasn’t thinking about these things, you’re right. I mean, even with “Smart” TV (don’t get me started) I have a media dedicated computer with a small footprint attached and I do everything via that.
I don’t use any tech that I’m not fully in control of, unless I have no other choice. The tv thing I completely realize is the minority case. I know only tech geeks who have the knowhow are doing anything like that.
The whole smart tv thing is irrelevant to me because it’s such a scam. They stop updating apps after a certain amount of time, forcing the users to just chuck a perfectly good tv and buy something new because apps are no longer being maintained on that one. Such a fucking scam. But P. T. Barnum called it long ago, “There’s a sucker born every minute.”
I think the Xperia seems always to have been a line for a little extra glamour. I’ve seen a few different models from over the years and they’re all a bit indulgent in their own ways.
Even if you don’t want it.
Honestly, I’d prefer to stay away from anything that’s been sullied by the need for Windows compatibility, compliance, Protectsia inclusion, etc. Fuck that. I think it’s a really bad idea and a turn off for more than not.
